EDUCAUSE has long advocated for the importance of "strategic IT" and the role of technology leaders as strategic partner to institutional leadership. While significant progress had been made pre-COVID, the pandemic accelerated this at unprecedented speed and urgency. Technology and data are not only central but critical to institutional mission success and the role of technology campus leaders has never been more important. Maybe it's time to think beyond having a seat at the table? Join campus leaders engaged in integrated planning to learn more about this dynamic collaborative approach to campus-wide planning and how to get it started on your own campus.
